| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin Hi Pedrillo, I finally got my speaker wires (it's a long way from Lithuania to Washington State). I finally got around to putting them in a couple of nights ago, and, by God, they sound damned good! It cost me $58 including shipping, for a stereo ... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin Pedrillo, I am also using a 12' pair of Supra Classic 6 that I made up, with a braided sheath, Furutech rhodium bananas, and heat shrink where neccessary. They look good, and sound great with my VAC PA 35.35, and HPD 315 Tannoys. I kind of forgot ... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin Pedrillo,I'm waiting for some speaker cable that has been a very hot topic lately on the Yahoo Tannoy site, known as the "surprise cable", everyone that has tried has raved about it. It's made in Russia! As far as I know it doesn't have a specific... | |
| Help with problem setting up Phantom I tonearm? Just a wild guess, but it sounds as though something is badly out of level. I don't know how the Planar mounts to the plinth, whether by a flange or other means, but is there a way to ensure the arm mount itself is level? Is it possible the plinth... | |
| Whats the diff in these Synergistic Research cable Hello Zeal, all, I have long used Synergistic Research cables in my system, although I haven't been able to afford their top tier cables, I have been very satisfied with the purchases I have made. The only suggestion I can make is to contact The C... | |
| VPI Scout vs VPI Classic The improvement from Scout to Classic not withstanding, I'm of the opinion that you would hear a greater improvement by upgrading to a better phono stage than you would hear between the tables. I still own a Scout Signature, with Dynavector XX2 MK... | |
| Synergistic Designers Reference I agree that used S R cables are a great bargain. I bought 12' S R Resolution Reference FX oh, about five years ago now (new). They were in the $1400 range then, so buying them used would make them, or the Designers Reference, and Absolute Refere... | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig Markd51 is right on about the MintLP. I suspect no matter how close you think your cartridge-arm setup is, it's most likely not close enough to get the lowest signal-to-noise possible with the JMW 9 arm. David Garrettson I think, may be on to some... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? One way of upgrading your system is to have your existing components upgraded, by that I mean replacing mediocre parts with much better ones. If the used equipment you have purchased is in the mid-priced area or better, then much of it can be wort... | |
| Changing sides- Adventures in tubeland You have discovered my secret weapon, that being the "Baby". As soon as I plugged it in, I knew what I had, so I immediately got in touch with Richard, at Sophia, and ordered the cap upgrade. This I did at home, not difficult at all. I then bought... | |
| Settling on a cartridge? VPI guys-question? On my VPI Signature Scout, I have used for quite a while, the Dynavector XX2 MKII. It's a great cartridge, and a great match for VPI tonearms. I have a modded Simaudio LP5.3 with outboard power supply. The power supply is the single best investmen... | |
| What amplifier should I get with Mag 3.6? The Sunfire is a great suggestion. The fellow I purchased my Plinius amp from sold off two SA 100 MKIII's, and is now using a single Sunfire to power his Shahinian's. As far as the Aragon is concerned, the only reason for the sale is that I had ch... | |
| What amplifier should I get with Mag 3.6? Last year, I sold my modified Aragon 3002 amp (300Wpc) to a fellow A'gon member to use driving his Maggies, and he is delighted with it. My 3002 was one of the newer models in the now discontinued line, but I suspect many of their amps would be a ... | |
| Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers Back in the day, I attended many gigs of PG&E. They were a great band, had an lp, but lost it in a house fire. I should try and find an LP one of these days.Dan | |
| tech help w/ Marantz dv8300 I happen to have one of these myself, have used it daily for nearly ten years without a problem, for what that's worth. The only thing I can suggest is try resetting the player. To do this, press and hold the stop button while pressing the power o... |
